The Federal Ministry of Education don deny reports say dem don commot Christian Religious Knowledge, CRK, as subject of study from the curriculum of public secondary schools for Nigeria and Islamic Religious Studies, IRS, don dey reintroduced.
Director of Press, Federal Ministry of Education, Mrs. Chinenye Ihuoma, deny the report, say the Ministry just only design one new subject wey combine Civic Education, IRS, CRK and Social Studies to “Religion and National Values.”
“The alternation is not from the minister, this is purely from the National Council on Education. It is just as the council has said that History should be a subject of its own at the basic level in the first nine years. Now, a new subject has been introduced, called Religion and National Values. It is a fusion of religion and civics. I have not seen the details but in a case where you have subject combinations in the same period, everyone will attend lectures that correspond with their own religion. Arabic and Islamic Studies are not standing alone. Islamic Religious Study and Christian Religious Study as well as national values will be taught under a new subject.” she yarn so.
